I heard there was a connection, but assumed it was one of those NS myths, something along the lines of a family connection...

Hi Russ 

 

that's what i heard to but can't find any documented proof , if there isnt you'd have thought there would have been some sort of law suit issued for use of group name 

[pikeys dog]

Is it April 1st already?

[Dave Pinch]

i`ll stand the drop of york if theres any connection other than the name

[Chalky]

They were called something else before Black Eyed Peas.

"Mushy" by any chance ?

 do you think there's any connection

 

No.

[Guest Dave Turner]

They were called something else before Black Eyed Peas.

 

 

According to Wiki they were Atban Klann

 

I can't see any connection. The present group were 8th graders in 1988 so around 13 years of age and residing in LA

 

The Ultra City 45 is one of Choker Campbell's labels (Detroit) and came out 5 years before they were born

I've long believed that Smallest Man Alive was released in 1970.

I've often thought whether the BEP had heard the 'Ultra City' record, I'd say thats a pretty good track for them to re record, wouldn't you?

Is it just coincidental that four of the Black Eyed Peas singles share names of singles picked up on the Northern scene?
